Despite the rain, there were plenty of runners who still signed up day of race, knowing the weather conditions, thats a great turn out. Race promoters were happy with the turn out.

It was a new route this year with runners start line on JFK drive through the River walk and crossing both Vet's and Liberty bridges, with the Finish Line again ending at the Labadie Pig Gig presented by State Farm.
